Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Proud to stand with the clinicians confronting Pennsylvania’s escalating measles outbreak. While federal rhetoric shifts attention elsewhere, they are caring for the patients living with the consequences. Their voices, their stories, and the suffering they’re witnessing deserve the spotlight. 420463
Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Want the truth about measles? Listen to the doctors treating it. Voices breaking as they describe suffering that did not have to happen. More than 165 hospitalizations and rising. Their testimonials are the clearest answers to the fed’s rhetoric. 10347139
Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Grateful to the Washington State Medical Association for the invitation to keynote its annual meeting. At a difficult moment for American medicine, defending our profession matters. And if we want a healthcare system worthy of our patients, clinicians must lead the way forward. @wsmaceo.bsky.social 729147
Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · 25/09/2026On the ground at the epicenter of the measles outbreak, the clinicians doing the lifesaving work told us who they’re relying on: their colleagues, local health departments and state officials. Just as revealing was who they didn’t mention. 618669

Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The questions posed to Dr Heidi Overton yesterday aren’t sources of great confusion. Is mail-order Mifepristone safe? Yes. Is an IUD a form of abortion? Clearly No. Does MMR need to be split into 3 for safety reasons? No. If you can’t answer those 3 questions clearly… 923378

Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · 22/09/2026This isn’t just about NIH grants. It’s about whose health gets studied—and whose gets ignored. Defund research on women and minority communities. Weaken the safety net. Politicize which science gets funded. Different policies. Same consequence: the people who already have the least lose the most. 7374125
Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Artificial intelligence can help us detect disease earlier, sharpen a clinician’s differential diagnosis, and identify promising drugs faster. The real measure of progress is whether it helps us deliver better medicine—while preserving the human connection so core to great care 2416131
Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Leaders who fear accountability try to silence the voices that provide it. A free press doesn’t exist to make those in power comfortable. We won’t stop asking hard questions or speaking plainly—especially when the health of the American people is at stake. 16727164

Dr. Vin Gupta @vinguptamd.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Medical freedom? It’s the freedom to see a doctor without going broke. To breathe clean air and drink safe water. To live free from toxins we can actually prove are harmful. To have a world-class NIH discovering tomorrow’s cures. To make informed decisions based on evidence, not ideology. 722665
